Studies have demonstrated that repeated mRNA vaccination enhances the breadth of neutralization against diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, the development of antibodies capable of neutralizing across the Coronavirinae subfamily is poorly understood. In this study, we analyze serum samples to determine their neutralization breadth and potency and identify their antigenic targets. Using a cohort of older individuals and healthcare workers, we track correlates of broad neutralizing responses, including fusion peptide (FP) antibody elicitation. We find that although broadly neutralizing responses are often a result of RBD-specific antibodies, a rare subset of donors produce FP-specific broadly neutralizing responses. Interestingly, FP-specific antibodies are not observed in COVID-naive individuals irrespective of vaccination regimen, but rather, they occur following natural infection or vaccine breakthrough. This study highlights the epitope targets underpinning broadly neutralizing antibody responses to coronaviruses and suggests that existing vaccines are insufficient to promote the elicitation of FP-directed broadly neutralizing coronavirus antibodies.
